After inspecting Xiao Pass, Qin Shi Huang led his chariot south along the Huanjiang River to Yiqu, the capital of Beidi County. Yiqu is also a place with many stories, the Yiqu ethnic group was already a branch of the Qiangrong ethnic group in the west before the Shang Dynasty, living in the Guyuan grassland and Liupan Mountain and Longshan on both sides of the current Ningxia Guyuan grassland. During the Shang Dynasty, they were neighbors and attacked each other with the descendants of the Di people who lived in Longdong, and later clashed with the Pig Kingdom established by the Ji tribe who lived in Longdong, and constantly encroached on its territory. Around the twelfth century B.C., during the Kangding period of the Shang Dynasty, due to the southern invasion of the Di people in the north, the father of Zhou Zugu led the people to leave the land and move south to Qishan. The Rongdi and Di tribes took the opportunity to occupy most of Longdong. In the last years of King Wen, Jiang Taigong once sent an envoy to Nangong Shi to envoy Yiqu. King Yiqu sent horses, chickens, and rhinoceros to King Wen. Because the relationship between Yiqu and the Zhou people was relatively harmonious, and the ghost side (猃狁) was opposed to the Shang Dynasty, so after each war, the ghost side failed and fled, and went to the Hetao, while Yiqu took the opportunity to move inward. In this way, Yiqu gradually occupied the Dayuan area of Longdong (Qingyang, Ningxian, Zhenyuan and other places). The land here is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, the animal husbandry has been developed unprecedentedly, and the population of Yiqu has also increased significantly, and it has settled in a nomadic state. They learned farming techniques and Zhou culture in their intermingling with the local Zhou descendants, and built castles and villages following the example of the Zhou people, thus developing into the Yiqu tribe, which was different from other Qiang people. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Yiqu submitted to the Zhou.

In the year of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the dog Rong rebelled against Zhou, killed the king of Youwang at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and the Yiqu people took advantage of the turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty to declare their separation from the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, formally establish the county state, and established the capital in Xigou Village, Jiaocun Township, Ning County, and since then there has been the name of Yiqu in Chinese history. Soon after the establishment of the Yiqu State, he immediately sent troops to annex Penglu, Yuzhi and other Xirong tribes, expanded the territory, and successively built dozens of cities and sent troops to garrison them. Its national boundary extends to the Xihaigu grassland in the west, Qiaoshan in the east, the Hetao in the north, and Jingshui in the south. In the politically turbulent Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it directly participated in the political and military competition between the Central Plains and the Vertical and the Horizontal, especially after more than 400 years of repeated military contests with the Qiang Qin, and became the main opponent of the Qin State to dominate Xirong at that time.

The Yiqu nationality has existed for more than 800 years since the establishment of the tribal state in the Wuyi period of the Shang Dynasty to the time of King Qin Zhao, of which the establishment of a slave county in Qingyang has been more than 500 years. In 650 B.C., after annexing Zhurong in the north, Yiqu further developed to the southeast, first pointing the spearhead at the Qin state. The following year, Yiqu took in the Jin people and Yu as an envoy and sent him as an envoy to the Qin State. After Yu arrived in Qin, Qin Miao was entertained by the secretary of state and asked him for advice on how to govern the country. Yu Yu said: "The upper contains pure virtue to meet its bottom, and the lower is faithful to do things above, the government of a country is still the rule of one body, and I don't know how to rule, and the rule of this true saint is also." When Miao Gong heard this, he was greatly appreciative, so he used a divisive trick to summon You Yu. After that, Qin used Yu's strategy to attack the Beidi Yiqu, "benefiting the country twelve, opening up thousands of miles". After the defeat of the war, Yiqu learned a lesson, recuperated his strength, and built a city to defend himself. In 430 BC, Yiqu sent a large army to attack Qin, from Jingbei to Weinan, forcing the Qin soldiers to withdraw from the lower reaches of the Wei River, and the next 30 years were the most powerful period of the Yiqu State. Its territory extends to northern Shaanxi in the east, Hetao in the north, Longxi in the west, and Weishui in the south, covering an area of about 200,000 square kilometers. In 352 BC, Qin sent troops to attack Wei and captured Wei Xihe County and Shang County in one fell swoop, and then Qin and Yiqu friction broke out again. Qin took advantage of the civil strife in Yiqu, sent troops to attack Yiqu, and pacified the internal strife in Yiqu, Yiqu surrendered to Qin, and the two sides fought peacefully thereafter.

In 327 B.C., Yiqu took the country as Qin County and the Jun as Qin Chen, and officially became the territory of Qin. In 318 B.C., Yiqu took advantage of the melee of the Central Plains countries, broke away from the control of Qin, and united the five eastern countries to attack Qin. In order to eliminate worries, the Qin State used a stratagem to win over Yiqu, and gave it to the king of Yiqu with thousands of splendid horses and hundreds of beauties. However, the king of Yiqu was not fooled, and still raised troops to attack Qin, defeated the Qin soldiers, and recovered part of the lost territory. Four years later, when the Qin State won the Central Plains Battlefield, it mobilized heavy troops to conquer Yiqu from the east, south, and west, and successively captured 25 cities in Yiqu, and the territory of Yiqu was greatly reduced. In 306 B.C., King Qin Zhao was established as the monarch, because he was still young, he was regent by his mother Empress Dowager Xuan, who was also the famous heroine Miyue in history. She changed her strategy of conquest of the Yiqu Kingdom head-on, and adopted the technique of Huairou to fall into the king's will. She wrote to King Yiqu to live in Ganquan Palace, let him live for a long time, and treat him with generous treatment, and later lived with him and gave birth to two children, so that King Yiqu completely lost his vigilance. Thirty-four years later, Empress Dowager Xuan suddenly attacked in Ganquan Palace and killed King Yiqu, and a generation of heroes died under a woman's pomegranate skirt. Then the Qin State sent troops to attack the Yiqu State, and the Yiqu State was destroyed from then on, and the territory was incorporated into the Qin State.

The First Emperor stayed in Yiqu for a few days and talked with his ministers about some things in history. There is a humanitarian: "In "Mozi Festival Funeral", there is 'a person in the west of Qin who has a righteous canal country, and his relatives die, gather firewood and burn it, and smoke it is called Dengyao'. 'Dengyao' means to ascend to the distant horizons, that is, the soul ascends to heaven. This is a record of cremation, and it is also one of the customs of Yiqu. The Yiqu people are strong and brave, and they 'take death as auspiciousness, and illness as ominous'. Therefore, he was very brave in battle, and he would rather die than give in, which is also one of the important reasons why the Yiqu country can last for hundreds of years. In the Yiqu country, all the people are soldiers, and in case of war, young and strong men must go to the battlefield. It was also stipulated that after the twelfth generation of the same clan, the younger brother could marry each other, and after the death of the elder brother, the younger brother could marry his sister-in-law, and these rules and customs have been popular among the people. Qin Huang said: "This is mainly because of their small population. If you want to fight, you can't do it without soldiers, and the Yiqu Kingdom is also a strong clan, but it's a pity that they eventually embarked on the road of extinction! This is the fact that Emperor Qin naturally has a deeper understanding of a woman, that is, the Empress Dowager Xuan. Empress Dowager Xuan is conspiracy or indulgence, eloquent or insidious and vicious, and can destroy a powerful country. Emperor Qin thought about the Empress Dowager Xuan and thought of her mother again: her mother Zhao Ji also had a child with another man, and she almost took her own life, these past events made him think of it both heart-wrenching and painful, so in the later years, he has not been established, it is because of these concerns, the purpose is to prevent women from taking power.

Emperor Qin continued to sum up the lessons of history, and then led the brigade to the west, passing through Chaona, Wushi, Jingyang, and then continued south. One day the car was driving bumpy, Qin Huang saw from the car window from a distance that there is a gentle top, the neck of the steep red peak cliff, the clouds are wrapped in fog, very spectacular, and said: "This mountain looks like a flowing Dan from a distance, I don't know what the name of the mountain is?" The guide officer said: "This is exactly the Kongtong where the Yellow Emperor has come!" Emperor Qin was very happy, and the majestic peaks prompted him to have a strong desire to climb, so he urged the chariot to come to the bottom of the mountain. After getting out of the car, Junchen walked down the mountain. When Emperor Qin saw that the stone was as white as jade, he gave it the name Sa Bao Village. Then asked: "The Yellow Emperor went west to Kongtong, how can it be proven?" Prime Minister Kui replied: ""Zhuangzi" contains: The Yellow Emperor has been the Son of Heaven for 19 years, and the decree is all over the world. He heard that Guangchengzi was cultivating in Kongtong, so he went to meet him. After the Yellow Emperor heard the Tao, he also wrote two scriptures, "Yin Fu" and "Dragon and Tiger" to convey his experience. After he died, it is said that a huge dragon with long hair came down from the sky to greet him, and the Yellow Emperor climbed on the dragon's back and ascended to heaven. The First Emperor was even more interested, and said eagerly: "The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, the battle of the Emperor, and the unification of the Xia, can be described as a merit covering the universe, and the merit is immeasurable, and it can naturally become an immortal." Now that I have destroyed the Six Kingdoms, mixed with China, and established a county bureau across the country, the credit is not under the Yellow Emperor, and I am also going to climb Kongtong, can I smell the Tao? The ministers smiled: "The Yellow Emperor rode the dragon to heaven is just a legend, he died and was buried in Qiaoshan, and did not ascend to heaven." Emperor Qin asked again: "In addition to the Yellow Emperor, what other holy monarchs have made a trip to the west?" Kui replied: "It is said that there are Yao monuments and Yu Jies on Kongtong Mountain, so it is inferred that Yao and Yu Emperors have also been to Kongtong." King Mu of Zhou went west to the dog and also went here. When Emperor Qin heard these deeds, he was overjoyed and urged: "Come quickly, I will also pay homage to the Immortal Shadow Saint." "Emperor Qin came to the bottom of the mountain, and the ministers surrounded him and climbed the steps. The roadside is thick and shaded, and the pines and cypresses are towering. The cranes and birds in the mountains are crying, and the clouds are steaming. The monarch climbed from the east to the place where the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi, and the monarch and the minister had a sense of reverence for the deeds of the distant ancestors, so they took a break on the side of the road. Someone saw that the emperor was working hard to climb the mountain, so they persuaded him to stop climbing. Emperor Qin said proudly: "The eldest husband will be on the top when he ascends, how can he give up halfway?" So he made it to the top. But seeing the mountains embraced, the sea of clouds is vast, the loess mountains in the northwest are majestic, reckless, and extended, giving people a feeling of being vigorous, majestic, rough and broad. As the so-called: the northwest Kongtong Mountain is majestic, and the thousand-year-old realm is still Hongmeng. Its east stone steps stand out and the road surface is narrow, which is a doorway. Later generations opened up a steep stone path here, which was named the 'Ladder to the Sky'. West by the head of the chicken, looking at the pine and cypress in the distance, such as the girl's hair bun towering high, the painting screen against the backdrop, it is fascinating. Emperor Qin looked around, suddenly felt relaxed, and couldn't help but praise: "Magnificent, worthy of being the first mountain in the west!" "Later generations carved stones and praised Kongtong Mountain as 'the first mountain in the west'. Seeing that the team on the Jitou Ancient Road was driving like a long dragon, and there was no end in sight, the descendants called the mountain in the east 'Wangjia Mountain'.

When Emperor Qin was getting carried away, he suddenly saw a colorful auspicious light that was neither smoke nor fog appeared in the southeast, and he was very surprised in his heart. The official in charge of the celestial phenomena hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, this is a cloud!" Emperor Qin said: "Please tell me in detail." The official said: "There are many types of clouds, such as slightly clouds, shower clouds, squirt clouds, axial clouds, dipper clouds, hook clouds, etc., when the clouds appear, they are extremely spectacular. The minister looked at this cloud just now, it was colorful and steaming, like a sign of a dragon, if it was fulfilled, it would be extraordinary! Emperor Qin asked in surprise how it was not trivial. The official did not dare to answer. Emperor Qin pressed him. The official said timidly: "This is the breath of the Son of Heaven!" His Majesty must personally go to the East to suppress it, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Emperor Qin was stunned.

After a while, when the ministers saw the emperor's thoughtful appearance, they all said disapprerovingly: "The clouds are just a celestial phenomenon, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry?" I think that my Qin State has established another country after Xia, Shang and Zhou, which is a feat that the three emperors and five emperors cannot compare. As long as Your Majesty follows the example of the previous kings, does good to the people, and seeks benevolence for the lower levels, so that the common people can live a stable and prosperous life, they will be happy. When the people are happy, the world will be peaceful. Since King Ping moved the capital, the world has been in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living. Your Majesty saved the people from fire and water, which is the fulfillment of the old saying that 'there will be kings in 500 years, and there will be famous people in the meantime'. Now that the world is settled and the war is over, it is necessary to heal the wounds suffered by the people in the war. Now it is time to let the homeless people go home to engage in agriculture, and then let the soldiers go home to recuperate, and then encourage them to cultivate the land freely, carry out agricultural warfare, and be exempt from forced labor. In this way, the peasants have a fixed land, and when they have enough to eat, the barns will gradually be filled. This is what the ancients said: 'If you govern the people with virtue, the people will be convinced', and 'the promotion of kindness is enough to protect the four seas'. In addition, the Qin State established the Xuan Order to educate the people. As long as His Majesty gives convenience to the people, the common people will inevitably sincerely join the court. Decades later, the Qin State will be invincible in the world! As for the faint and deep clouds, please don't bother your majesty to guess the good and the bad. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Qin pondered for a long time and said, "The way of heaven is deep, and it is okay not to notice." But the past is the past, and the future is the teacher! Qin used Shang martingale, rich country and strong soldiers; Chu Wei used Wu Qi to defeat a strong enemy; King Wei used Sun Wu, King Xuan used Tian Ji, and the princes were in Qi. At that time, the countries of the world used the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal to attack each other, and those who knew how to open and close vertically and horizontally and lobbied the world were called sages. Although the world is unified now, it may not be possible to completely surrender to our Qin State within Liuhe, and it should be hindered before it happens. Those who were exiled because of the war should be compiled into household registration and managed in a unified manner, but the soldiers cannot be disbanded? Thinking about the previous dynasty, it is not difficult to know: Shang took Xia Wei and Zhou fought against Yin, all of them were fought against violence with benevolence, and naturally the world returned to the heart. Now that Qin is destroying the Six Kingdoms and sweeping away the sea, it is a violent attack, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms will inevitably be dissatisfied, so they must be cautious everywhere and prevent the slightest slight. The soldiers are the support of the state, once disbanded, what if the six countries rebel? Even the celestial phenomena don't need to be ignored, but the art of governing the country must be studied deeply. Moreover, the Qin State ruled the world with the doctrine of water virtue, so it should not be too accommodating to the people and overly emphasizing benevolence. I've heard that 'if you are slow to act, you will not be famous; If you are hesitant to do something, you will not succeed. The fool does not understand the fact that the thing has been done, but the wise man observes the result before the thing has even sprouted. The people cannot think about the beginning of things with them, but can only enjoy the joy of success with them. The testimonies of the saints are for the people, and the rites of the saints are for the benefit of the state. Therefore, the sages rule the kingdom as long as they make the country prosperous, and do not follow the old laws; As long as it is beneficial to the people, the old etiquette system is not observed. Now, if the people are governed by virtue and politics, even if the people can be grateful to the Qin State, can those nobles who have died say good things about the Qin State? I am familiar with ancient and modern books, and I know the difficulty of governing the country. "Yi" said: "Things can't be poor, so they can't end up with it." 'When the world is unified, can we sit back and relax?' Is the war over? No! The situation is endless, and the struggle is endless. The old forces of the Six Nations are still a major hidden danger, and everyone must always be vigilant. I thought that there would be rebellious people among the six kingdoms, so we must not abandon the rule of law and adopt the rule of virtue instead, which would be a practice of indulging in the enemy for a while and leaving a legacy for eternity. Therefore, the practice of disbanding the soldiers and accommodating the people will not work. I must go out to the East and demonstrate in all directions, so that I can deter those of the Six Nations who do not submit. When the ministers heard this, they didn't even dare to say anything if they said yes.

After swimming in Kongtong, stop at the foot of the mountain. The next day, the Qin Emperor ordered another march to the south, because the road was rough, the team walked very slowly, and did not make any more big stops. The car drove through the current Huating, Huizhong, Wangxian, and Yongxian, and did not return to Xianyang until autumn. After careful consideration, Emperor Qin ordered the Xin Palace on the south bank of Weishui to be changed into a pole temple to symbolize the pole pole. A gallop road was built from the pole temple, leading to Lishan, and the main hall of Linguang Palace was built.

Emperor Qin returned to Xianyang, because he saw Yunqi in Kongtong, and seemed to have a heart disease, and his heart was always uneasy, so he ordered to open up the road of patrol in the east, and prepared to continue the patrol. At this time, the weapons that had been confiscated from all over the country were also piled up in the large square in front of the Xianyang Palace. Emperor Qin ordered to make a five-zhang tall giant warrior model in the designated position, and then melted all these weapons with a large wok, and then poured the solution into the model, casting twelve bronze giants. Copper is yellow color, so it is also called Jinren, five zhang tall, more than 20,000 catties per respect, erected high on both sides of the palace gate, the momentum is extraordinary, guarding the country.
